Dell PowerEdge R530 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R530 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 12 DIMM slots and includes two 2 TB SAS hard drives managed by a Dell PERC H730 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and a DVD-ROM drive complete the base configuration.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This server suits organisations that need up to eight 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives in a compact 2U chassis with hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It is not for buyers who need more than 96 GB of memory in the current configuration, as all 12 DIMM slots are populated. It is also not for deployments that require a second processor, additional PCIe 3.0 slots beyond the three provided, or an operating system pre-installed.

Max memory capped at 96 GB

The installed 96 GB of DDR4 memory fills every available slot, so the system cannot accept more RAM without first removing existing modules. This limit decides whether the server can handle larger virtualisation clusters or in-memory databases that demand 384 GB capacity.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the H730 RAID controller is operational after installation?

During POST the H730 initialisation screen appears; press Ctrl+R to enter the controller BIOS and confirm the two 2 TB SAS drives are detected and the desired RAID level is configured.

What ships with the server and what must I purchase separately?

The unit includes one E5-2630 V3 processor, 96 GB DDR4 across 12 DIMM slots, two 2 TB 7.2 K SAS drives, H730 1 GB controller, two 750 W redundant power supplies, DVD-ROM, iDRAC8 Express, four 1 GbE ports, power cable and rails. Additional CPUs, memory modules, drives or OS licences are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R530?

The server is already populated to the 96 GB maximum supported with the single processor installed; adding a second Xeon would raise the ceiling to 384 GB using the 12 available slots.
